The Central Election Commission (CEC) of Azerbaijan made a statement
on the presidential elections in Nagorno-Karabakh.
The statement says that "so-called ‘presidential elections’ is contrary
to the Constitution and laws of Azerbaijan and will not be recognized
by the international organizations like OSCE, Council of Europe,
European Union."
"According to the article 6 of the Constitution of Azerbaijan,
no social organization or person can appropriate the governing
authority. The elections should be held only by the Central Election
Commission in accordance with the Constitution and Electoral Code of
Azerbaijan," the statement says.
In addition, the statement says that the action of those who will
observe the elections will be assessed as "rough violation against
the state sovereignty of Azerbaijan."
